[PATCH RFC 8/8] SUNRPC: Reduce xprtiod workqueue contention

[Chuck Lever]

xprtiod handles transport-level operations: socket receive
processing, error recovery, and connection lifecycle. On systems
driving heavy NFS traffic, these operations contend on the UNBOUND
worker pool lock just as rpciod does.

Set WQ_AFFN_SMT on the xprtiod workqueue to give each SMT group its
own pool and lock.
